Hot off the bench: Restoration of sofa & chairs

Before

This fantastic late 19th century sofa was in desperate need of woodwork repair as well as upholstery. New veneers and fills were applied to the woodwork as needed and a fantastic floral fabric was applied, making this quite an eye-catching piece! The best part of the story is that the client paid $1 for the sofa at auction several years ago!

These chairs belong to the same client and were made by a family member many years ago.

It's amazing how far back old wood will come with expert attention!Fabrics by Robert Allen.
